Kaixin001 & Kaixin Meets in Court

Something big is going on...

The operator of one of China's most popular social network, Kaixin001.com, has just filed a lawsuit against Oak Pacific Interactive, which started a competing service in Oct. under the domain of Kaixin.com. In the suit, Kaixin001.com has asked Oak Pacific Interactive stop using the Kaixin.com name.

Kaixin001.com is best known for its addictive online games. But the rapid growth of Kaixin001.com posed a direct challenge to Xiaonei.com, which also happens to be owned by Oak Pacific Interactive. When Oak Pacific Interactive launched Kaixin.com, it also adopted a layout and game options that looked akin to Kaixin001.com. The new Kaixin.com soon became popular, perhaps in part because some users thought they were logging onto Kaixin001.com, which accused Kaixin.com of unfair competition.

Now, just sit back and wait a little bit to see where the lawsuit is heading for.
